My work explores the cycles of life, transformation, and the invisible connections that bind us. Through glass, I seek to give tangible form to what is fragile, ephemeral, or impossible to hold onto.

Glass is a material of contrasts. Both delicate and resilient, transparent and mysterious, it reflects the complexity of human experience. Working with flame, I transform raw material into objects that capture light, movement, and emotion. Each piece becomes an exploration of balance, transformation, and the relationship between strength and fragility.

The natural world is a constant source of inspiration in my practice. Organic forms, textures, and the subtle beauty of natural elements influence my approach to both sculptural work and contemporary jewelry.

An important part of my artistic practice is devoted to memory and remembrance. By incorporating ashes, hair, dried flowers, and other meaningful elements into glass, I create commemorative jewelry and objects that preserve personal stories and connections. These pieces offer a tangible way to honor loved ones and carry memories forward.

Whether creating contemporary jewelry, sculptural objects, or memorial keepsakes, my intention remains the same: to explore the transformative possibilities of glass and create meaningful objects that connect material, memory, and emotion.
